I have two schemas which are processed using JAXB. The first schema is preprocessed and information of this is used using an episode file (following http://www.java.net/blog/2006/09/05/separate-compilation-jaxb-ri-21). The second schema imports the first, and again using jaxb, is processed. This all works as expected.
But now I have an element in the first schema, which is used in the second using a reference.
Schema a:
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:test="http://www.example.org/Test/"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/Test/">
<element name="type" type="test:MyType"></element>
Schema b:
<schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:second="http://www.example.org/Second/"
xmlns:test="http://www.example.org/Test/"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org/Second/">
<import namespace="http://www.example.org/Test/" />
<complexType name="SomeType">
<sequence>
<element ref="test:type" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
During processing nothing is wrong, but the generated code for both schemas provide the same method:
public JAXBElement<EventType> createType(TypeType value)
At runtime, this results in the following error:
com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of
IllegalAnnotationExceptions
The element name {http://www.example.org/Type/}type has more than one mapping.
How can I prevent JAXB from creating the duplicate createType methods?
Thanks in advance!
Update: I asked this same question on the JAXB mailing list, on that list I also posted a working example. The thread and example can be found at: http://java.net/projects/jaxb/lists/users/archive/2011-03/message/18
On this list I've been suggested a workaround, and now I can use the schemas the way I like. But I still think JAXB should not create the additional "create" method, since it should already be in the episode file.
